Big Sky

Montana State is the odds-on favourite with one loss this year to win the Big Sky tournament and advance.

I was looking at the latest bracketology which has Montana State as a 14 seed. Cream has them going to Fort Wayne. In the Portland region the 14 seat is Bucknell.

Hard to understand why the committee would do this kind of odd travel. Doesn't seem to matter where these 14 seeds go. That's said Montana State is matched up in this prediction against Gonzaga.

Wonder what the BY thinks of that game if it does material.

Because Montana State isn't actually "going to Fort Wayne". They're only going to Gonzaga or whichever other school is hosting in the 1st two rounds.

Ahh. Thanks. The assumption, probably correct, that they will not advance to the Sweet 16.

So does that geography play into the matchup with Gonzaga?

Gonzaga and Montana St. met in Bozeman on 12/5 w/ the Zags winning 70-55.
